Here's a handy tip for using the K5 remote start: lock your doors with the fob, then press and hold the remote start button (the one with the key) for about 3 seconds. It'll run for 10 minutes. If you have the Kia Access app, you can also start it from your phone, which is great on chilly mornings!

These kinds of things put me one step closer to making the firm decision of buying this vehicle. The 2012 model I was looking at doesn't have it, so I guess I'll have to go for something newer

This is so helpful, but does the Kia Access app let you control any other features, like adjusting the climate or setting up the charging schedule?

Thank you so much for sharing. Bookmarking your post for later use. I read a lot of posts on key fobs malfunctioning lately so better safe than sorry.
